A Journey Fraught with Peril

In general, those long drives are the birth place of our
mad plans for con games, personal challenges, and a lot of smack talk. This
year’s trip involved a lot of talk about where are heads are at with gaming. In 2013, Work took over both our live. Job and
family squeezed gaming and painting figs down to a trickle. We’re feeling that
all too common malaise.

The theory we are working on is that we start these big
projects and then all our painting becomes about the big project – it becomes a
job – it sucks the life out of painting.

So this year we are going to try a different strategy. It’s
going to be all about painting.

We have each committed to painting and finishing SOMETHING
every two weeks. Something consists of a single 28mm or a squad of 15mm (>4
figs) or the rough equivalent. We can paint whatever we want, we just have to
FINISH IT!
